EximEximincomingI thought I would just update those who were interested in what I eventually decided to do in regards to upgrading our email server.
The problem: We replaced our gauntlet firewall, which had sendmail and virus scanning of emails with smoothwall corporate server. This meant that I had to upgrade our internal qmail server to include anti-virus scanning and tighten the anti-spam measures. I was not sure whether to stick with qmail or or what anti-virus software to use. The solution: I installed and had a look at it but decided to stick with qmail as we already knew this and did not have a lot of time to get it up and running. I ended up with qmail+qmail_scanner+mcafee uvscan+spamassasin and it's all up and running without great difficulty. I had difficulty getting prices for antivirus software for Linux but discovered that we already had McAfee's "uvscan" on the CD which came with our MS antivirus programs. The documentation even supplied a sample script and perl program to download the dat files each night which was easily adaptable. I considered installing everything by hand but decided it would be easier all round, especially documentation, to use the bigQ to automate most of the installations. I did try qmail-the-easy-way script but this had too many problems and found bigQ more robust as I tried the install a few times just to be sure I knew what was going on. _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
